We Are Profiled in EnLIGHTenment Magazine!

When my friend Linda Longo, editor of EnLIGHTENment Magazine told me she was coming to New Orleans for a convention, I was thrilled! I'd been following Linda for quite awhile and was always very impressed with her work reporting on the latest developments in the lighting industry.
Linda was so gracious and so interested in how we work. She loved that we still draw all our production drawings by hand. And that all of our lighting is wired and hand finished in our studio by the greatest group of artists and technical people ever. That we take care and time to make each piece special.
And uniquely crafted for the person who orders it. With peace, love, care and skill.
It was fun to walk down the street with Linda from our workshop to our showroom, which is one block down, and to show her how we create decorative vignettes to complement our lighting. We have interior designers who assist our clients with the home furnishings we carry and we offer complete interior design services as well. We also make a special point to show the work of many gifted New Orleans artists, like Jamie Meeks, Lesley Wells, Michelle Tullis and Craig McMillan.
I think Linda was also intrigued by the "Beer delier's" we have in our
shop, which are designed by the famous pillow designer, Becky Vizard as
an outreach program for the young people of her hometown of St. Joseph,
LA., who she pays by the bottle cap to string the garlands which make
up the chandelier. They are fun, festive and very popular as well as
being for a good cause!
It was great to finally meet Linda in person and to spend a wonderful morning talking about lighting with her.
Thank you so much, Linda for visiting and for writing such a fabulous article about us!
We truly enjoyed getting to know you!
